Random packages requiring some tool from Debian should not cause the kernel installation process to change. The dropping of the debianutils dependency in ca-certificates has already caused some surprises due to installkernel being depcleaned. The origin of the problem lies here in debianutils, users unknowingly use and rely on installkernel but do not have it in their world file because it was implicitly pulled in by some package that happens to use the run-parts command. And also the other way around. If I am one of the users that wants to do everything manually, I should not have my 'make install' unknowingly altered by some package that I installed which pulled debianutils into the depgraph. Drop this unused runtime dependency (which is against policy to begin with) and its accompanying flag. A news item will be posted to notify users of this change and instruct them to add installkernel to their world file.
